Just finished this excellent book and hope there is more coming from author. Very real in details - from al Qaeda to US SOF. I truly hope there is more coming from William Christie. This was one of the best books I have read in a while.

Since we've experienced some problems getting a book description up on the page, I wanted to post this for the benefit of interested readers. I'll skip the usual publishing hype. This is a contemporary thriller dealing with Al Qaeda terrorism. Frustrated by the course of the war on terrorism, the Secretary of Defense has formed a covert unit of the most experienced special operators in the military to move around the world in small teams hunting terrorist leaders. This team, led by Master Sergeant Ed Storey of Delta Force (or Combat Applications Group if you prefer), begins with the capture and elimination of an Al Qaeda cell in the Philippines. The strike uncovers a plot to assasinate the American President during his tour of Asia in 2003. Simultaneously, the FBI in the U.S. is investigating possible terrorist cells in Virginia and Michigan. The action moves through Pakistan, Thailand, Malaysia, and back to the U.S.. Just when it seems that the terrorist plot is becoming clear, it turns out to be something larger, different, and totally unexpected. The scenarios are real world, and the special ops techniques and Al Qaeda methods are the current state of the art. Check it out. By the way, I only put up the stars because Amazon made me. You won't feel ripped off--you've got my word on it.

In this book the Secretary of Defense forms an elite fighting
unit to fight the forces of terrorism.This unit is comprised of the best members of the Seals,Delta Force,members of the intelligence forces and members of the technological community.
They can fight the terrorist anywhere in the world,in any country where their services are called for.

cells within the United States are ready to help the al-Quada
units carry out their plan.It becomes a mas dash to locate the
assassins and stop the plan of al-Quada.This is a very action packed book with an exciting finish.Be sure to read this book.
It is a real page turner.

A special elite small force comprised of former Delta Force and Seal members is established in order to be able to move quickly when needed. This is really an exciting great read as a two man team moves from the Philippines to Pakistan, Thailand, Malaysia and back to the U.S.A. An excellent character is the female F.B.I. agent who is extremely perceptive. The enemy are thwarted. Again, I can't commend the author, a former Marine Corps officer, enough on this book.

Christie continues true to form with his latest novel, Threat Level. Set in today's uncertain world, Christie creates a scenario that is so plausible it makes you wince. His attention to detail -- from weaponry to sniper tactics -- makes you feel as though you are next to the characters, following their every move. Unlike so many authors, Mr. Christie understands the fog of war in which people make mistakes, machinery malfunctions, and plans don't come off without a hitch. The book is a page-turner and your won't be disappointed.
